printTextHeight

set the printTextHeight ¬
    to posInteger

The printTextHeight property returns or sets the value of the default text height (or line spacing) used by the print command. The default value is 13.

When you print a report, HyperCard determines the default text height for a report item as follows:

• If the report item is the text of a card or background field, HyperCard uses the text height of the field.

• If the report item is generated from any other HyperTalk expression, HyperCard uses the value of printTextHeight.

In either case, the user can override the default height by selecting a height in the Item Info dialog box of the report item.

Examples

set the printTextHeight to 20
